no sir, i didn't know about this. and not having my speakers turned on, i was gazing at the merch page trying to figure out what was so damn special about it... then i saw the play button. cranked the speakers (as cranked as the office will permit, which is more like a shred) but let me tell you, this songs shreds when played at a shred level. wow!

i have listened to the album a couple of times so far, and it's growing, first listen i was left in a state of 'hmmmmm'. Some tracks severely rocked while others went nowhere. But upon second listen, they're going nowhere, but they rock. that's where they go, to nowhere rock land, nowhere land, the desert? how appropriate, the axe shredder's sanctuary and musical oasis. ah yes. 3's &7's.

Also, your thoughts on the Epiphone Wildcat

hahaha it's funny I just did a search on the "wildkat" but spelled it cat as well. did you know it has P-90s as opposed to humbuckers, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-90 , i was going to tear the humbuckers out of the Epiphone Dot and throw in p-90s

oh i knew it did. that's a + big time, that and the bigsby, not to mention the sweet detail work that goes into it.

Also, was on the phone with Dave from Encore Music Exchange. We must go there at once! they have rehearsal space
